Fall/ Winter 2016-2017 Accessory Trends

If you always have your finger on the pulse of fashion fluctuations, it is crystal clear that the Eighties and the Nineties are coming back in a more grandiose way touching upon every fashion section out there. Trip down your memory lane and bring back those high-waist denim pants, leather moto jackets, slip dresses, Dr. Martens, fanny packs, berry lips and, of course, ultra-feminine chokers. Then buckle down to squirt them with the best vibes tackled from contemporary life and get nothing else but a fashion roller coaster.

The agenda for today? Come along with us to dig into the most accessorized part of the roller coaster and dive into the fall/ winter 2016-2017 accessory trends that might at times leave you with a poker face (I have seen this many a time and oft) but more frequently with eyes wide open either clapping hands with glee upon new charming accessorizing options or uttering decidedly: “I will not try this for all the tea in China”.

Apart from statement handbags and killer shoes we have embarked on to discuss earlier, many other accessory options have made their way through fashion avenues starting from jewelry pieces and belts to warm scarves, gloves and hosiery totally tuned up for brass monkey days. Browse through our list of the best fall 2016 accessory trends, then spruce up and jazz up!

#1. Choker Competitions: Rigidness vs. Fragility

Choker mania kick-started earlier in the spring/summer 2014 season and we came up with clear understanding even then that this trend is really happening and will happen for a long time yet. How could we be so sure? History repeats itself.

In not-too-distant Nineties when we were all pumped about that black pendant choker on Leon’s Mathilda or those plastic tattoo chokers on cool schoolgirls, these tricky pieces were already up to assume new disguises for the future. We see the result on the fall 2016 jewelry trends running over with thongs of choker necklaces.

What else to call it if not a real competition when a fashion-conscious girl is literally caught between two stools – namely, between Balmain’s chunky metallic-glassy chokers and Dries Van Noten’s fragile feathered ones, between Loewe’s rigid golden chokers and Fendi’s furry sweet nothings, between Lanvin’s gemstone neck-jailing chokers and Luisa Beccaria’s tender velvet stunners? Dilemmas do not end in here but drag on and on from Oscar de la Renta and Saint Laurent to Antonio Marras and Chanel.
